Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are very thin pieces of durable, tooth shaped porcelain that are custom made (for shape and color) by a professional dental laboratory. They are bonded onto the front of teeth to create a beautiful and attractive smile.

Veneers can completely reshape your teeth and smile. They can often be alternatives to crowns and the ideal solution in treating many dental conditions.

As with most dental restorations, veneers are not permanent and may someday need replacement. They are very durable and will last many years, giving you a beautiful long lasting smile.

Reasons for porcelain veneers:

Cosmetically, to create a uniform, white, beautiful smile.

Crooked teeth.

Misshapen teeth.

Severely discolored or stained teeth.

Teeth that are too small or large.

Unwanted or uneven spaces.

Worn or chipped teeth.

What does getting porcelain veneers involve?

Getting veneers usually requires two visits to complete the process, with little or no anesthesia required during the procedure. The teeth are prepared by lightly buffing and shaping the surface to allow for the thickness of the veneer. A mold or impression of the teeth is taken and a shade (color) will then be chosen by you and the dentist.

On the second visit the teeth will be cleansed with special liquids to achieve a durable bond. Bonding cement is then placed between the tooth and veneer and a special light beam is used to harden and set the bond.

You will receive care instructions for veneers. Proper brushing, flossing and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new veneers.

Testimonials

I have been going to Dr. Whitmire for years and we love how much she and her staff truly care about the patients. Dr. Whitmire does excellent work, and she is the best around!

Discovered this place via Groupon because I have not gotten dental insurance yet (soon though) and needed to get my teeth cleaned and examined. Gotta say this place is pretty awesome! Their x-rays are digital so they pop up on the computer screen in front of you right after they are captured. The objects used to take this x-rays weren't bulky either; they fit comfortably in my mouth without jabbing me in my cheeks or gums.
Another cool device this place offers is the water pick for cleaning in between your teeth. Just a heads up: this will seem like a mini water park in your mouth and create a splash zone for your face; but it's still fun and your mouth will feel super clean after. I was very surprised how much cleaner & whiter my teeth looked and felt after the water pick in comparison to other cleaning methods in the past.
Anna was very nice and introduced herself and even got to know me before she stuck her hands in my mouth taking away the stranger-danger feeling (trust me it's weird when you have no idea who your doctor is especially with a coupon involved). She was very knowledgeable in oral care and even provided easier options/tricks to keep my teeth and gums healthy.
I would recommend this place for sure and there is even a private lot for parking so you don't have to compete for parking spaces.
